Elementor bugs: Gallery captions and issues with formatting text
-
I am very frustrated with Elementor as it has severe text formatting issues that make using it a pain.
I have three issues to report in this post.
- Text formatting changes when you click out of the text box
From what I found online, this is a known issue and everyone hates it. When I type up some text in an Elementor text box then click away from it, eg to change browser tabs, change program windows, or even within the same tab but click on a different text box/different element, the formatting (the spaces) lines of space disappear or change. Each time I open the same post, I have to re-edit the formatting and spaces. Sometimes it appears as two lines of spaces between paragraphs, or as I tried to make it, one line of space which is great, but as soon as I click on the text box to edit the text, the line spaces disappear, so each time I open a draft post I have to re-format the ENTIRE article.
2. When typing in an Elementor text box, it would frequently randomly “finalise” what I typed, the way it would when you click outside the text box, by making the text box fade into white, and is deactivated/deselected. When it happens, it happens every few words, so I have to stop and re-click on the exact text box and manually put the cursor where I was typing again which is a great interruption to work flow. As part of the finalisation, the formatting might also change, adding to the annoyance. Also: If I leave the tab and go back to the tab where I was editing the Elementor text box, the box is finalised and deactivated so again, I have to re-click on the exact text box and manually put the cursor where I was typing again. This is such a pain in the everywhere. Gutenberg blocks keeps the same text box activated and the cursor at the same place when I return to the tab after moving away from it.
3. I made a basic image gallery in Elementor and the numbers in the captions and descriptions do not display properly. For example, what was supposed to be $1246 shows up as $1. The numbers seem to be displayed randomly, not just the first digit in the number.
I have a lot of screenshots, please tell me the best way to attach them all.
